10 Silent Killers Hiding In Your Backyard That Can Kill Your Dog In Minutes Most dog owners spend a lot of time thinking about what’s inside the house – the chocolate on the counter, the medications in the cabinet, the grapes …

Abstract Dissolved organic carbon released from marine macrophytes is an important carbon sequestration pathway, but its recalcitrant fraction remains poorly quantified. Here, we quantified dissolved organic carbon release rates and recalcitrance using empirical data from macroalgal and seagrass species across cold-temperate to subtropical coastal Japan. Dissolved organic carbon release rates ranged from 5 to 462 µmol g-DW−1 d−1, with similar averages between macroalgae and seagrasses.
